The skyscraper on the left is called 100 Bishopsgate and the one in the background is called 22 Bishopsgate. The etymology remains unknown. The 100 was constructed between 2015 and 2019 on the site of two might smaller office building constructed after the 1993 bombing that was just a few meters away. It's 172 metres high. The Twentytwo replaced an earlier plan for a 288 m (945 ft) tower named The Pinnacle, on which construction was started in 2008 but suspended in 2012 following the Great Recession, with only the concrete core of the first seven storeys. The structure was later subjected to a re-design, out of which it became known by its postal address, 22 Bishopsgate. (previous | next | back to album | 2020:02:11 15:50:17 | 15% of an album)
